19 Wing Comox, Centennial of Flight Dinner,
April 25, 2009

In 2009 Canada will be celebrating 100 years of powered flight in our nation, going back to the flight of the Silver Dart in Baddeck NS. This Centennial is of considerable importance given the vital role that aviation has played in shaping and defining Canada, both in peace and war.

To celebrate this anniversary, 19 Wing Comox will be hosting a Centennial of Flight Dinner on the evening of 25 April 2009. The key attractions of the Dinner will be a “once in a lifetime experience for aviation lovers”: set in an operational Air Force Hangar (Hangar 7) surrounded by the ambience and infrastructure of military aviation, with Vintage Wings of Canada’s Hawk One and crew, the 2009 Snowbird Team and aircraft as the centrepiece and a surprise VIP Guest Speaker.

There will also be a Golden Hawks Reunion this weekend in Comox and they will be attending this Dinner. There will be a catered full sit-down, buffet style meal and No Host bar with limited seating of 300 individuals. This Dinner will also be the major fundraising event for the Comox Air Force Museum for 2009.

Tickets will go on sale in January 2009 at the Comox Air Force Museum and online at the webpage listed below. If you are interested in being kept up-to-date on this event and other Centennial of Flight events at 19 Wing Comox, please email us at: cafmcofd@telus.net.
